anxiety Nancy, For me, it's anxiety more so than depression, although neither is very pleasant. I will suddenly get an anxious feeling and it scares me. It lasts for hours. I haven't had this bad of anxiety in about 3 years and thought it was gone for good. Now I know what it is and...

Hi Sparrow, I know of several people who have had Lyme disease and although it took a while they recovered just fine. Sorry to hear that you have it and take it slowly with exercise or doing to much because a friend of mine did to much to soon and started feeling really awful again. This...

Hi Debbie, Ok, I'll let you know how my appointment goes. Do you mind if I ask your age? I'll be 48 later this month. I ask because my primary care doctor said that often times sypmtoms of a bicuspid aorta don't show up untill the age of 50 or so. Like you said, yours was found when...

Hi Debbie, Thanks so much for sharing this with me. I have had anxiety most of my life and that seems to be coming back now too. Although my primary care Dr. told me not to worry I have been a little scared about this bicuspid aorta finding. It is the lightheadness that is a scary feeling...

Hi, I recently found out I have a bicuspid aorta. This is a birth defect where I was born with only 2 cusps in my aorta instead of 3. It was found on a ultrasound I had due to a fainting episode I had. I am going to a cardiologist on Sept 16th. My primary care told me it isn't serious...

Hi Nancy, I think I am going through the same thing as you. It is frustrating and I'll be glad when it's over and my body settles down. In the meantime I try to eat as healthy whole foods as possible and not get so distressed about a bloated stomach and the scale going up sometimes 2 lbs...

Sara, You are not alone in this challenge. I have had this condition most of my life and didn't know what was wrong with me until I saw Midwest Center info show on TV about 4 years ago. http://www.stresscenter.com/ I ordered the program 4 years ago and it has helped me immensley. It...

Good for Pixley Good news for you and Pixley. It's so hard to have a sick pet. My cat had that intersusseption too and they found it on ultrasound. Cindy

Massachusetts Hi, I live in Massachusetts and have all of my life. It's a beautiful day here today too. Cindy

Hi Debbie, Yes, you are right about the concentration part. Maybe that is what I need time to work on when doing straight arm tricep work. I did Squeeze yesterday and feel some sorness in the triceps so I must have done something right. It's during the exercise that I don't feel the...

Hi Cynthia, One of the problems I am having is when holding my arms up high, I feel this more in the back of my shoulders than triceps. I'll keep trying. Cindy

Hi, I thought the main action of the tricep is to extend the elbow. In both Squeeze and Slim Series Express Cardio Sculpt there is a tricep exercise in which the movement is pressing the arms back with straight arms, no extension of the elbow. I don't really feel this much in the...

Hi Laura, I can relate to what you are going through. I am 47 years old and over the past 3 or 4 years I have noticed many body changes that I didn't like and had to change and modify my workouts to go along with it. I am much better a listening to my body and accepting it as OK (at least...

3 meals is better for me Hi, This is very true for me. In the past I ate 5 small meals per day and for me that leads to overeating and more frequent urges to eat. So 3 meals is best for me with a few snacks inbetween. I also over eat in the evening and for me what works is to not...

Push Pull & Super Sets Hi, I own TT also and am not very good at followinga written routine. I guess I'm so used to DVDs. I think the Push Pull and Supersets workouts are similar. Personally I love Cathe's High Step Circuit Intermediate and I think that is a good workout although I don't...

Instructional class Hi Lauramax, You didn't hijack the thread at all you make a good point on the instructional class or even if Cathe would include a detailed kickbox instruction on a DVD. I feel the same way about my form on the kicks. I have the same concerns about the different...

Slower movements Hi, Yes, I got the Keli Roberts KB for Dummies and even that is intense for me when I use proper form. I'm glad to hear you so slower than Cathe, I have to do that too or my form really gets sloppy. It's good to know I'm not the only one. Cindy Congrats on...

Hi all, I have KPC and 4 Ds. I was never that great with my form on kickboxing and didn't feel like I got the upper body, hips and waist involved like I was supposed too, until now. I decided to get the Kickboxing for Dummies DVD, practiced the moves with that and I have gotten much...

Hi Laura, I think it's good for our bodies and minds to change our workouts. For me, there are so many good choices that it can be overwhelming. Enjoy the new routine I admire a 6 to 8 week commitment. I think I have exercise ADD because I get bored after 3 weeks and change. That's one...

Hi, If you are thinking that some less intense workouts might be better then I think you should try that for a couple of weeks. Our bodies have a way of telling us what they need. I was feeling like you describe and decreased the intensity of my workouts and feel much better and even lost...
